The Belgian Football Federation rejected support for Gianni Infantino's re-candidacy for the FIFA presidency. This decision marks a clear position of the Belgian federation against the current president of the entity that governs world football.
Belgium thus joins other European bodies that also expressed opposition or reservations regarding Infantino's re-candidacy. Among these federations are those of Sweden, Scotland, and Italy, which also withdrew or called into question their support for the Italo-Swiss executive.
This wave of European contestation represents a significant challenge for Infantino, who is seeking a new term leading FIFA. The lack of unanimous support on the European continent could complicate the re-candidacy process for the incumbent president.
